PM23063: Types declared in Interfaces get declared below a vtable code,

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rhapsody allows Types to be created inside of an Interface
  class.   This
  Type will then likely be used in one of Interface's operations
  as a Return
  Type or an Argument.  The problem is that Rhapsody in C code
  generator
  places
  tables at the very top of a .h file, and only then declares
  Types.   Types
  are referenced in a Vtable before they are declared, resulting
  in compiler
  errors.   According to the customer, Rhapsody in C should always
  generate
  Vtable struct code so that it's at the very bottom of a header
  file.
  
  Please see a small attached Rhapsody model that reproduces the
  problem.
  Here's an example of the code generated :
  
  
  typedef struct IDisplay_Vtbl {
     size_t IDisplay_offset;
     IDisplay_MyDispIFType* (*IDisplay_Operation_0)(void * const
  void_me);
     void (*IDisplay_Operation_1)(void * const void_me);
  } IDisplay_Vtbl;
  /*#]*/
  
  /*## package InterfacePkg */
  
  /*## class IDisplay */
  typedef struct IDisplay IDisplay;
  /*## type MyDispIFType */
  typedef int IDisplay_MyDispIFType;
